USA
Sky Saxon (Richard Elvern Marsh) 1946-2009
The raucous sound
of Sky Saxon's band
the Seeds
made them
a local phenomenon
in Los Angeles
in the mid-1960s,
but few
could have predicted
that Saxon would go on
to become
his own one-man
cult.
After disappearing
into a religious commune
during the 70s,
Saxon (...)
bounced back
to reassert
his credentials
as one
of the founding fathers
of garage rock.

For Belfast teenagers,
punk meant far more than just mohicans and safety pins
The music and clothes united Belfast’s youth in the 1970s.
